Hi everyone,
Well I have been stuck by two rather opposing moods.
One that I am alone in this madding world of ups and downs and the other to creatively write.
When I feel alone or for that matter when People ask how to understand Bipolar I tell them two things with out fail.
One watch Stephen Fry's Documentary

(please buy a copy its it truly worth every cent.)
And two. Listen and respect what I say.
My father has bipolar but we experience it differently. Yet sometimes it's hard for people to see us separately It is also hard for people to respect boundaries due to they desire to " help".
Calling me daily to see if I am up, functioning and what mood I am in is not helpful. I might make you feel better but you are not helping me for example.
Same for all Bipolar people. Respect we are still people not just the illness.
As for the second mood the writing bug as again bitten. It is times like these if I can't write I get anxious aggravated and just not nice to live with.
Add to this when I am writing my dyslexia riles me when I can't think to spell a word I am after it's not pretty.
If I could I'd lock myself away for days and type away till the mood passes but I have two lil ones and a hubby that like my presence and help.
So the juggling act beings.
So Go watch(buy.) Stephen's amazingly candid documentary and I shall write as the mood takes me.
I hope to be back looking into ways to help naturally with bipolar soon.
The blue rose.
